Subject: [PATCH] media: imx: work around false-positive warning

The IS_ERR()/PTR_ERR() combination confuses gcc to the point that it
cannot prove the upstream_ep variable to be initialized:

drivers/staging/media/imx/imx-media-csi.c: In function 'csi_link_validate':
drivers/staging/media/imx/imx-media-csi.c:1025:20: error: 'upstream_ep' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
  priv->upstream_ep = upstream_ep;
  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~
drivers/staging/media/imx/imx-media-csi.c:1026:24: error: 'upstream_ep.bus_type' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
  is_csi2 = (upstream_ep.bus_type == V4L2_MBUS_CSI2);
             ~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~
drivers/staging/media/imx/imx-media-csi.c:127:19: error: 'upstream_ep.bus.parallel.bus_width' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]

I could come up with no good way to rewrite this function, as a last
resort, this adds an explicit zero-intialization of the structure.

Fixes: 52e17089d185 ("media: imx: Don't initialize vars that won't be used")
